Twix Brownie Bites Recipe

My First Brownie Bite

I remember my first brownie. It was at my grandma’s house. She called it a “chocolate square.” It was so fudgy and rich. I felt so grown-up eating it.

That feeling is why I bake. Food is more than eating. It’s a warm memory you can share. That matters. It turns a kitchen into a happy place.

Why We Add the Candy

This recipe has a fun twist. We add chopped-up Twix bites. They melt into the brownie. You get little pockets of caramel and cookie.

Fun fact: The first Twix bar was sold in the UK in 1967. It was called “Raider” back then! I love that. It makes me think of all the hands that have unwrapped one. What’s your favorite candy to bake with? I’d love to know.

Let’s Make the Batter

First, melt your butter. Be careful, it’s hot. Stir in the sugar. Doesn’t that smell amazing? It smells like buttercream frosting.

Now, mix your eggs and cocoa. It will look very dark. That’s good! Pour the hot butter right in. This step is magic. It makes the batter shiny and smooth.

The Secret to Good Bites

Here’s my little story. I once forgot the flour. What a mess! The lesson? Measure everything before you start. It saves so much trouble.

So, add your flour and mix. Then fold in those Twix pieces. Don’t over-stir. We want them to stay in bits. This matters. It gives you a nice surprise in every bite.

Baking and Sharing

Use a mini muffin pan. It makes perfect little two-bite treats. Bake them until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool. This is the hard part! I still laugh at how I always burn my tongue testing.

These are perfect for sharing. Do you have a friend who needs a sweet pick-me-up? Take them a few. Food made with a happy heart tastes better. That’s a fact. Tell me, who will you share your first batch with?

My Gooey Twix Brownie Bites

Hello, my dear! Come sit at the counter. Let’s bake something fun today. I’m thinking of my grandson, Leo. He always sneaks candy into his pockets. One day, a Twix fell right into my brownie batter! We baked it anyway. The result was magical. Now we make these bites on purpose. They are rich, fudgy, and full of happy surprises. Doesn’t that smell amazing? Let’s begin.

Step 1: First, warm up your oven to 350°F. Grease your mini muffin pans lightly. I like to use my fingers and a bit of butter. It reminds me of my own grandma’s kitchen. She never used fancy sprays. Now, melt one cup of butter in a saucepan. Keep the heat low and gentle.

Step 2: Take the melted butter off the heat. Stir in one cup of sugar until it looks sandy. Here’s the trick! Put the pan back on the heat for one minute. The mix should get hot but not bubble. (My hard-learned tip: If it bubbles, let it cool a bit before the next step. We don’t want scrambled eggs in our brownies!).

Step 3: Grab a small bowl. Crack in two eggs and beat them for a minute. They should get a little frothy. Then add the dark cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix it until it’s smooth and smells like chocolate dreams. I still laugh at how messy cocoa powder can be.

Step 4: Carefully stir the hot butter mixture into the chocolate egg mixture. Go slow at first. It will become silky and thick. Now, add the flour and mix just until you don’t see white streaks. Time for the best part! Fold in your finely chopped Twix bites. Do you chop your candy or leave it in big chunks? Share below!

Step 5: Spoon the batter into your prepared pans. Fill each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. A toothpick should come out with just crumbs, not wet batter. Let them cool completely. The waiting is the hardest part, I know! But it helps them set. Then, enjoy your little treasures.

Three Tasty Twists to Try

These bites are wonderful as written. But sometimes, a little change is fun. Here are three ideas from my kitchen notebook. They make a simple recipe feel new again. I love seeing what you come up with, too.

Salty-Sweet: Swap the Twix for chopped Snickers bars. Add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking.

Minty Fresh: Use chopped Andes mints instead of Twix. The cool mint with warm brownie is so refreshing.

Berry Surprise: Place one fresh raspberry in the center of each unbaked bite. Push it down gently into the batter.

Serving Them Up With Style

These bites are perfect all on their own. But for a special treat, let’s dress them up. For a party, stack them on a pretty cake stand. Dust them with a little powdered sugar. It looks like snow. You could also serve them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The meltiness is incredible.

For drinks, a cold glass of milk is always the champion. It cuts the richness perfectly. For the grown-ups, a small glass of tawny port wine is a lovely match. Its nutty sweetness dances with the chocolate. Which would you choose tonight?

Keeping Your Brownie Bites Fresh

These little bites are best fresh and warm. But they keep well, too. Let them cool completely first. Then store them in a sealed container. They will stay soft for three days on the counter.

You can freeze them for a sweet treat later. I wrap pairs of bites in plastic wrap. Then I pop them all in a freezer bag. My grandson loves finding these in my freezer. He says they are like little chocolate treasures.

To reheat, just warm a bite for 15 seconds in the microwave. This makes the Twix inside soft again. Batch cooking matters because life gets busy. Having a sweet homemade snack ready is a simple joy. Have you ever tried storing it this way? Share below!

Simple Fixes for Common Brownie Bites Troubles

Sometimes bakes don’t go as planned. That’s okay. Here are easy fixes. First, if your bites stick, grease the pan well. I once forgot this step. We ate them with a spoon, which was still fun.

Second, if the batter seems too thick, don’t worry. This is normal for a fudgy brownie. Just spoon it into the cups. Getting the texture right matters. It gives you that perfect, rich bite.

Third, if the tops crack, you baked them a minute too long. They are still delicious. This small fix improves your cooking confidence. You learn by doing. Which of these problems have you run into before?
